Effect of histamine in paraventricular nucleus on the development of neurogenic pulmonary edema / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of histamine in paraventricular nucleus (PVN) on the development of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE).Methods NPE models of rabbits were made and H 1 receptor antagonist (chlorpheniramine, H 1 group), H 2 receptor antagonist (Cimetidine, H 2 group) or normal sodium (NS group) were injected into PVN of rabbits utilizing the technique of stereotaxis. The degree of pulmonary edema was observed, the content of histamine in PVN was measured by high performance liquid chromatogram, and the ration of lung-water and A/P value were calculated.Results (1) Compared with control group and sham operation group, the content of histamine of PVN in NPE group obviously increased ( P
